They certainly did, Newton made 31 in the first half (acording to Sky). That's the problem with only having Dobson as an attacking threat.

He did and stood up very well. Him and Welham were superb tonight.

| I think it was the first half effort that did you tonight, especially when Newton went off. Your defence was superb in the first half which shows good team spirit.

All very true of course.
It's how the game was won, that 5minute 3 try blitz was, I believe SOLELY due to the sin-binning. The idiotic and naive comments on your forum saying it was an 'inevability' a try would occur is plainly ignorant.

| I'm very impressed with Liam Watts, for a 19 year old he seems to be outperforming a couple of ex NRL players on much bigger contracts.

Not at all. Pressure is a legitimate tactic and it often takes time to tell. Wigan played 10 mins one man down in the Leeds cup game and didn't concede a try: why wasn't your defence equal to that, if it wasn't for the intense pressure they'd been under?

indeed - maintaining pressure is what its all about. Here is what Tony Smith had to say:
"The scoreboard may not have been clicking over but we knew it would eventually.
"It was inevitable we were going to win and the players felt in control at half-time."

Wire's performance was pretty good. Missing 6 (compared to our 3), your team still looked much better on paper and you're translating that into performance on the pitch now. With an excellent coach ('Inevitable' was a poor choice of word, mind) and such a strong squad, you have to be considered genuine contenders. Rovers performance, which is what I care about, has to be viewed in that context. 'A' for effort 'C-' for execution.
Against weaker teams and with better luck we do okay. Until our execution improves we won't beat the better teams or be able to overcome adversity.

He can play there, he has done with some success, but last season we had one of the top back three's in SL with Galea, Newton (both dream team) and Murrell. Why did Morgan decide to split it up and not bring in a six if he wanted rid of Cooke, doesn't make sense and we are now suffering for it IMO.
I would go back to having those three were they were and try someone at six for the remainder of the season, maybe Cockayne.

| Good to see wire arrogance, they already think they are the best team, which will make for good viewing when they fall.

| Quote: Mild Rover "Our play is neither clever nor intelligent at the moment, so we have to work too hard. No lack of effort, very little rhythm.
I'm not somebody who subscribes to 'don't care if we lose, so long as the effort is there', but it is some consolation. Use your brain though and you don't have to bust a gut quite so much.
That bloke who said we're a better team without Cooke - Rea was it? - he can f-off.
Don't know the circumstances of his departure or the rights and wrongs of the situation, but I do remember having a sense of optimism, even anticipation when we got into an opponent's 20 last year.'"
In fairness to TR he did not say get rid of Cooke and don't replace him, that's Rovers big problem right now they ahve not replaced Cooke.
I thought you played well last night, maybe not offensively but in defence was showed desire and commitment. Wire always looked they would eventually score points and kept breaking your line but Rovers were hanging in well. That kind of defence will win you games in the coming weeks, what needs to be sorted is the offence, right now it's Dobson or nothing.

| I've said this for ages but for me we're a thick team that can only execute training ground moves. If it hasn't been explained to the players ad infinitum from a clip board we've just got no idea. Galea is the one player we've got who plays with any intelligence yet our game plan this season seems to be to give him the ball and decision making opportunities as little as possible.
